Yes as of June 13 at 12:30 we officially have started our open ended cruising adventure.
We had a few setbacks that delayed our departure by 10 days. It could have been longer if it were not for friends giving us a helping hand and Jack sweet talking some contracts to get parts for us on the same day.
We would like to thank all the people who visited us even when we were not there that wished us well and safe cruising. We also would like to say hi to all our family who threw us a great party and to everyone who attended. Lots of promises to get together and we will hold you to it. As usual I did not get everyones e-mail address so please drop us a line on the g-mail account over the next month.

Jack and I are being accompanied by our son in law Chris to Quebec City. Sorry guys but the bar will be pretty quite over the next 2 weeks but I am sure when Chris gets back there will be lots of stories to tell.
Day 1: As we had a late start we sailed to Cathedral Bluffs Yacht Club. This short sail ensured that all systems are working and confident to start on our cruise down the St. Lawrence.
Day 2: As to be expected the winds are coming from the east but they were steady and made for a great sail southeast. A little cool, jackets were brought out but the sun was out all day. After a long trek south we tack to Whitby Yacht Club. We have always felt welcome here and once again they provided us a slip for the night. Going out to dinner with in-laws.
Thought I get a head start on the meals put the slow cooker on and there is a stew brewing, Thanks Cathrine as I thought about taking it off the boat and I am already using it.
Well enough for now, tomorrow we will be off to Colburg.
